"Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."
Steven Weinberg
「宗教是對人類尊嚴的侮辱。沒有宗教,你有好人做好事,壞人做壞事。但如果要好人做壞事就需要宗教。」

"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the bible is filled, it would seem more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind. "
Thomas Paine

"It ain't those parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it's the parts that I do understand"
So, Cottbus, what about a debate on other boards? A letter to the Church? A letter to the Editorial of popular newspaper? Will those constitute as an attack?
What if the same is done by, say Taliban while they condemned the equally innocent women in their respective "church"?
Christian or not, it is something that deserve some deep thought.
--------------
Do you see the difference in meaning? When non-believer speak of "attack", they meant anything from 1-6. Historically, Christian did those things in the name of Christianity.
But when believer speak of attack, they only mean something like 5 or 6. Historical, atheists do not do anything in the name of Atheism.
When you roll a 6 consecutive 6 in a roll, it is only reasonable to suspect the next roll will be a 6. (Barring the mathematician who live in an ivory tower.)

Why a neccessity of hatred? Can a complain be made on behalf of someone else?
Who is most harm in the end? People in this forum? NO! But the people listening to the dude!
For the love of the fellow Christian, YOU may want to be the first to do something.

"The Bill of Rights Ordinance only binds the Government and public authorities in respect of discriminatory acts on the grounds or race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Discriminatory acts which do not fall under the ordinances on sex, disabilities and family status occurring in the private sector or between individuals cannot be redressed legally. "

In fact, I note that there are nearly 2 times unhandle case that EOC find them out of their scope to handle (Possibly religious?).
Also, as I read SDO on the exception, I figure that you are allowed to ban women from entering certain places for religious reason. Also allow is banning woman to compete for certain position for religious reason. Interesting, isn't it?
I am unaware of latest work from the governemnt about the issue (other than that they are working on the 'racial' on the blue section). Feel free to inform me about it.
